System for Optimal Physical Exercise and Training
First Claim
1. A fitness system, comprising:
- a plurality of sensors that are worn by an exercising user and which generate data concerning monitored body processes pertaining to the exercise'"'"'s effects on the user'"'"'s body;
a display device for displaying said data to at least one of an exercising user and a fitness trainer;
a processor for receiving data from the plurality of sensors, processing said data, storing said data, and sending processed data to a host device via a wireless digital communications protocol for display of the data pertaining to the monitored body processes; and
an improved processor for receiving bioelectrical signals from at least one muscle sensor, a breath rate signal from a breath-rate monitor, and a pulse rate signal from a pulse-rate sensor,said improved processor digitizing the received sensor signals, compressing, packetizing, and time-stamping the digitized sensor signals, and transmitting the time-stamped packets wirelessly to the host device so that the host device can be utilized to store and/or display the sensor data,said improved processor operating under software control to display, based on at least some of the received sensor data and in real time, at least one of the exercising user'"'"'s ATP depletion, CP depletion, lactic acid accumulation, muscle-fatigue data, and VO2max.

Abstract
A fitness system for enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of physical training and/or exercise by a user comprises uses (1) a plurality of sensors that are worn by an exercising user and which generate data concerning monitored body processes pertaining to the exercise'"'"'s effects on the user'"'"'s body, (2) a processor operates under software control for processing, storing, and analyzing the data, and sending the processed data to a host device using a wireless communication protocol to communicate desired adjustments to the exercise in real time. The host device can be a smartphone, tablet computer or other web accessible device that can display and communicate bilaterally with the processor.
